How to switch to the next tab

I have Gimp 2.8 and I am using Single-Window Mode. I have about 15 images open at the same time and I am doing repetitive tasks on each of them. I made keyboard shortcuts to do the tasks themselves but I still have to use my mouse to go up and click the next tab to start work on the next image. It would save time if there were a keyboard shortcut. I see that under the Windows menu I can use Alt+1 through Alt+0 to select any of the first 10 images, but I have 15 open.

I wanted to know if there is a keyboard shortcut to just switch to the next tab or the previous tab.

Read on, I found the shortcut lol...
:-S single-window mode is kinda a sloppy way Gimp(no offense to devs) tries to mimic PS for those transitioning from PS to Gimp maybe?
I say this because if you want to switch back & forth from multi-window mode, it messes with the layout of icons & resizing windows/space is limited in single-window mode.

For instance, if you don't have a widescreen, the dialog boxes are locked on either the left or right side of the screen & you can't have the image behind the tools. So you lose a lot of extra screen space

Thank you for taking the time to look for the answer for me. However, that didn't quite answer my question. I have more than 10 tabs open so even by using the Alt+Number option I can't select the tabs above number 10. What I would like to do is press a shortcut and have the focus move to the next tab. For example, press Alt+">" and have it select the tab to the right, or press Alt+"<" and have it select the tab to the left.

And there is the possible caveat of single-window mode. Out of curiousity I braved the mode just to see if I could test an alt+combo, but nada! If its still bugging you, I would try to google it or wait a few days, maybe someone else has a solution.
Or you can work with 10 images at a time then combine the files.

Are you creating an animated gif? Why not open the photos as layers in one document.

I'm going through my old subscribed threads to delete dead ones so will be on for a little longer, might give one more search before I go.

It isn't a big deal, just trying to shave off a few seconds here and there. I'm not making an animated gif. But the more images I can do in one batch the more efficient it is. (I have to make hundreds.)

That is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!

(Batch processing and scripting is something I also want to learn more about, but for this particular task each image is unique enough that I don't think I can.)
